Discussion on who is really the “prodigal” in Luke 15

September 21st, 2015

So a friend told me that a local pastor wrote this on his Facebook page.

I would like to know your thoughts regarding his statement.

I completely disagree with this interpretation but what do you think?

He said,

“Who is the real prodigal in Luke 15? The younger son or the Father?

Definition of prodigal – recklessly extravagant, one who spends or gives lavishly and profusely…

You have a Father in heaven whose love is extravagant and unconditional, who longs to recklessly give you His love and restore you to what you were created for – An intimate love relationship with Him. An in-to-me-see relationship – sharing one another’s hearts, feelings & emotions. A mingling of lives… Seeing into the depth of one another’s being. To know and be known .

Until we know and value above anything else the deep love and intimacy we can have with Father God, more than what He can give us, there will always be a void in your heart!”
